Quick Summary
This discussion delves into the specifics of UK government accounting periods, questioning why they operate on a March-to-February cycle instead of the typical April-to-March used by private companies. The conversation touches upon the treatment of salaries, including when they are considered taxable and the implications of arrears and retrospective DA increments. It highlights the unique internal rules that govern government accounts, which may differ from standard accounting principles.
As per income tax salary is taxable on due or received basis and government service salary due on 1st of next month, so march salary received and due in April. Hence not considered.
